‘Walkout was to defend Parliament’s principles and rule of law’

The walkout by opposition MPs was an act to defend Parliament’s principles and the rule of law, said Ayer Hitam MP Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

Although he knew the walkout in response to the Dewan Rakyat Speaker’s appointment would be seen a “drama”, there was no other choice as there were no rules to invoke further action, he added.
